If you're up on the latest Java technologies, then you know that Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.0 is the hottest news in Java this year. In fact, EJB 3.0 is being hailed as the new standard of server-side business logic programming. And O'Reilly's award-winning book on EJB has been refreshed just in time to capitalize on the technology's latest rise in popularity.
This fifth edition, written by Bill Burke and Richard Monson-Haefel, has been updated to capture the very latest need-to-know Java technologies in the same award-winning fashion that drove the success of the previous four strong-selling editions. Bill Burke, Chief Architect at JBoss, Inc., represents the company on the EJB 3.0 and Java EE 5 specification committees. Richard Monson-Haefel is one of the world's leading experts on Enterprise Java.
Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, 5th Edition is organized into two parts: the technical manuscript followed by the JBoss workbook. The technical manuscript explains what EJB is, how it works, and when to use it. The JBoss workbook provides step-by-step instructions for installing, configuring, and running the examples from the manuscript on the JBoss 4.0 Application Server.
Although EJB makes application development much simpler, it's still a complex and ambitious technology that requires a great deal of time to study and master. But now, thanks to Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, 5th Edition, you can overcome the complexities of EJBs and learn from hundreds of practical examples that are largeenough to test key concepts but small enough to be taken apart and explained in the detail that you need. Now you can harness the complexity of EJB with just a single resource by your side.
Synopsis
EJB 3.0 has simplified the programming model for Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) dramatically and introduced a new Java Persistance specification. This new edition delivers the latest need-to-know Java technologies.
Synopsis
Learn how to code, package, deploy, and test functional Enterprise JavaBeans with the latest edition of this bestselling guide. Written by the developers of the JBoss EJB 3.1 implementation, this book brings you up to speed on each of the component types and container services in this technology, while the workbook in the second section provides several hands-on examples for putting the concepts into practice.
Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 presented a radical departure from its predecessors with a lightweight alternative that met with enthusiastic response from the Java development community. With version 3.1, EJB's server-side component model for building distributed business applications is simpler yet. And Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1 is the most complete reference you'll find on this specification.
- Learn how to encapsulate business logic with Session Beans and Message-Driven Beans
- Understand EJB's container services, such as dependency injection, concurrency, and interceptors
- Handle persistence through the Entity Bean and EntityManager
- Discover how to integrate with other technologies in the Java Enterprise Edition platform
